Fusion GPS ExternalizationPilot Training 1/5/2011 Lydia M. Naylor Research Lead
Project Concept: Fusion GPS Externalization Pilot • Problem/Opportunity • Externalize our patterns and guidelines so that customers can use them when extending their Oracle products • Before we do this we need to understand • How customers will use them • How useful they are to customers • What they will need to be successful • What we would have to provide to make this work • Solution • Run a pilot with a customer who is in the process of extending their Oracle products • Charter • Observation, NOT Design
Fusion GPS Pilot: Research Objectives • What’s the environment the patterns/guidelines are used in • LLNL’s design + development process, project goals, user roles • What patterns/guidelines do you use • How do you use them • How useful are they • Developers feedback • Our assessment of design • End user feedback on design • What do you need to be successful • What information is missing? • What type of training/support do you need to use the information? • Would additional design or usability support be useful? • What do we need to provide to make this work
Fusion GPS Pilot: Research Project Scope • Support 3 LLNL development projects • Representing a mix of experienced and new JDev/ADF developers • Timing • Start: early Jan 2011 (Today) • End: Determined by quality/quantity of data collected and development project duration • What we will provide LLNL • External secured pilot site of Fusion GPS (guidelines, patterns, and standards) • GPS forum and support • GPS training • No design
The Core Team • Lydia Naylor, Manager User Experience • Research lead coordinating the pilot study, check in meetings, data analysis and reporting • Somnath Lokesh, Senior Usability Engineer • Manning the forum, running check-in meetings, data analysis and reporting • Kristin Desmond, Senior Manager User Experience • Katy Massucco, Senior Manager User Experience • George Hackman, Jr., Senior Director User Experience
